GP communications toolkit for Covid-19 booster and seasonal flu vaccination programmes
The covid-19 booster and seasonal flu vaccination programmes are being delivered together. Where possible, people who are eligible for both vaccinations will receive one appointment – so they don’t need to attend two appointments within a short period of time.
To allow GP practices to continue to provide vital services to patients, they will not be involved in delivering these programmes.
As with the initial covid-19 vaccination programme, we are asking people to be patient as they will be contacted when it is their turn for either or both vaccines.
People who are eligible will be invited to attend an appointment in one of our seven vaccination centres, located across Lanarkshire. These are:
- Airdrie Town Hall, Airdrie
- Ballerup Hall, East Kilbride
- Banqueting Hall, South Lanarkshire Council Headquarters, Hamilton
- Braidfute Retail Park, Lanark (with satellite clinics at Abington, Biggar and Stonehouse)
- Fernhill Community Centre, Rutherglen
- Link Community Centre, Cumbernauld
- Ravenscraig Regional Sports Facility, Motherwell
Flu Vaccination
The Influenza Vaccination program has been extended to cover more risk groups due to Covid-19, and information is provided here: Patients who require a flu vaccination
As above all Vaccinations are being coordinated and provided by the Health Board and a letter will be sent to you with a date and location for your vaccination.
Please do not contact your GP practice about the Covid booster or flu vaccinations as they will not be able to help.
